Because the linen is included for those rooms by default. There is
nothing optional about it. And AFAIK it's not possible to have linen for
the other rooms because Le Camp does not provide it (probably they don't
even have enough linen available).
There are also other comfort differences between the beds than just the
linen. This will be easier to see once we have the pictures.
